I was an normal worker in the fields of Africa, feeling the hot sun burning my skin, but it was on that day when I lost something that cannot be regained, for I lost the only thing that kept me at bay, my family. As I watched the ashes on the face of my wife, and the blood of my two children sinking into the soil, I knew Ihad nothing to live for. I threw my self in my own invisible prison on that day, on September the 8th was when my life was lost to the apes. I wondered the field for days, looking at the mistakes of my ways. all the hope that my wife kept inside my heart for days, was lost within one day. As i place the gun at my head, ready to see my family again; oh how I missed the smiles of my children, and the lovely cooking from my beloved, for the pain is just too hard to bear, for if I just have one sign too say i should not end my days, well let a rock hit me on my day.

As I watched the house standing in front of me, I knew that will be that last thing I will see; as the lady running towards me, and as she screamed, that was when I knew that I had to live and not die. The Woman who saved my life was Mrs. Madelyn, an old lady living in a house that fit her size. Mrs. Madelyn was a wise woman, with many wise words, and the first lesson I learned was, "You Never Know You Made A Mistake Unless You have not already done it," I never really knew what she meant by that but I knew that was the reason why she stopped me from killing myself. Slowly I regained my life which was lost, as the more I lived with Mrs. Madelyn teaching me wisdom and the errors of my ways, I knew that soon I will have to find someone new, that was why she was teaching me, so that I can regain my hope to have a second chance of life and, to have a second family.

It had been two months that I have been living with Mrs. Madelyn and Two month that I have not seen my family, but with the hope of Mrs. Madelyn I could finally let them go but always keep one part of my heart connected to their souls so that they will never be lost on the way home. Now my lesson of wisdom has filled my soul, I know that now Mrs. Madelyn needs to rest alone, for as I wave good bye to the house of hope I wish Mrs. Madelyn all my hope. As I walked away from the house of hope I knew, my life has been restored, to it normal form.

As I started to walk the streets alone, looking for a place too call home, and with no home to call home, I would be awake all night long; so I started to sing a song which makes me feel bright and strong, and as I watched all the houses singed along, I noticed I found an home. five pounds they say for night, and with lots of money inside my bank, five pounds will not hurt my back. As the man with no hand took me to me room, straight away I can see a rat inside the room, so I asked the fat man, whether they have a cat to take away this rat, but as he walks down stair leaving me with no answer, I just stood and stared. looking into the eyes of the rat as he sat staring with his cheese in his hands.

The Sleep inside the house of horrors, was a real night to remember. the endless noise of the floor boards, and the continues sound of the rat racing across the ground; and the horrifying dreams of the slaughter of my family, from that night I learned on the half of true fear and pain. As night started to break, and day started to awake, I Begin my journey to Mrs. Madelyn to tell her about my problems. As i walked on the same dusty road, I could see smoke from an home, as I dropped everything, that home was Mrs. Madelyn alone, and as I broke one of the rule Mrs. Madelyn Said "Never Break into a house when people are in bed,"  I smashed to door down, then it looked like bread as the fire started to toast this bread. I rushed up stair to find Mrs. Madelyn sleeping on her bed, as I grabbed her legs, and grabbed her head, rushing down stairs before it is too late, to save Mrs. Madelyn from her end. Breaking every door that came in my way, making sure Mrs. Madelyn stayed away far away from the flames. Seeing the sun light touching my face, I knew I had Mrs. Madelyn Safe, but then The house could not hold it's smiling face and the house collapsed onto my face.
